Full-res version of the 2001 DNF poster/box art?

You know, the famous one. I think it came from the E3 2001 DVD of trailers of DNF and Max Payne, but I can't find clean, full-sized version of it.

imo this artwork captures the essence of Duke Nukem the best out of all the official DN artwork. Most other ones have him looking grumpy and blasting something instead, but this one shows off his attitude instead (while being more subtle than the retail DNF cover).

Yup, after a quick google reverse image search, I can confirm that Trikeen's image is likely the highest res version available. However, the results of the search itself yielded some much more interesting - and puzzling- results.

While I'm not 100% positive on this as this information isn't as readily available as I had previously thought, I believe the artist is Robert Grace who also illustrated the DN3D, Zero Hour, and Endangered Species covers along with (presumably) the Time to Kill cover and this magazine ad artwork.

Wasn't this done by Robert M. Atkins at the same time as the Duke 3D title screen / box art?

I can't find the post, but I recall it being mentioned here (maybe by Frederik) that this magazine ad artwork was illustrated by Grace as a possible alternate cover for the game. Frederik mentioned Atkins as being the art director of all of the covers here.
